NOTE: As defined by the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, a trespasser is any person
on a part of railroad property used in railroad operations whose presence is
prohibited, forbidden, or unlawful.
Employees who are trespassing on railroad property are reported as
trespassers. Nontrespassers are
persons lawfully on that part of railroad property that is used in railroad
operation (other than defined as employees, passengers, trespassers,
volunteers, or contractor employees), and persons adjacent to railroad
premises when they are injured as the result of the operation of a
railroad. "Other" includes
employees not on duty, nontrespassers off railroad property, and volunteers
or contractors who are not engaged in either the operation of on-track
equipment or any other safety-sensitive function for the railroad.
